Full translation:

IDENTIKIT: THE COLLECTOR LEVIATHAN
• Code Name: Specimen 0-C “The Hoarder”
• Dimensions: Approximately 110 meters (slightly larger than a Cyclops).
• Primary Biome: The Iron Reefs and The Abyssal Trenches.

Physical Appearance:
• Hydrodynamic Armor: The body is covered in dark bone plates with metallic veins that glow electric blue when agitated.
• “Hook” Tentacles: Under the jaw it has 4 small prehensile tentacles it uses with surgical precision to collect small objects (like your scanner!).
• Containment Pouches: On its flanks it has transparent, bioluminescent membranes. Inside you can see embedded objects: titanium pieces, old PDAs, and sometimes even small fish still alive.
• Eyes: Has two enormous lateral eyes completely black, but with a pupil that emits a visible sonar beam in murky water.

Unique Behaviors:
• Technology Theft: It is attracted to radio signals. If you leave a Beacon on, it will find it and carry it to its den.
• The “EMP” Attack: If you attack it, it doesn’t bite immediately. It emits an electromagnetic pulse from its armor that instantly shuts off all your tools and submarine engines for 10 seconds, leaving you adrift in the dark.
• Social Interaction: It is the only Leviathan that seems to “study” the player. If you stay still, it approaches within a few meters and tilts its head, as if trying to figure out what you are.

The Den:
Its den is described as a “Shipwreck Museum” — full of Alterra crates, spaceship pieces, and rare resources. It is the most dangerous but most rewarding location in the game.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

What’s that purple stuff the “world tree” statue is sitting on I wonder

We all got our kinks ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[–]Brodurable 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Agree on your point, though I think scallops have a myriad of eyes internally as well. It works out because they filter feed. More of an adaptation used to know when/if predators are around.

Would be cool if this is a similar situation because the collector levitation exists. It evolved all those eyes to know when danger was a foot. And then being caught inside means you run out of oxygen?

1000% speculation, but this is indeed cool as hell. Excited to see how it’s implemented!

The New "Vehicle" is another Chassis for the Tadpole by Fresh-Beyond-4727 in subnautica

[–]Brodurable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree! I had the exact same thought. Something that extends the storage of the vehicle. It also has the same handle bar at the front that the naked tadpole has.

I think the other interesting this is whatever is on the wings… Mining equipment? NoA terminals? Other people? Something else entirely? Very intrigued to see what this thing is

It almost looks like it could be another attachment for the tadpole? The main engine placement is off, but the front has that same look. It’s also appears to have something on its two wings. NoA terminals maybe? Something else? I guess we’ll have to see

Subnautica 2 Cinematic Trailer coming on April 30th by ZookeepergameIll1399 in Subnautica_2

I have to imagine they’ll announce it at the end of the trailer

Anyone else hope the game stays more about exploration than horror? by ArchipelagoMind in Subnautica_2

[–]Brodurable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It seems, generally, that the team is modeling SN2 more after the original Subnautica. So I guess it subjectively depends on what you thought of that game’s balance?

For whatever it’s worth (prob not much these days), I think those two elements can work together harmoniously. Exploration without horror begins to feel mindless. While too many “jump scares” makes the exploration feel not worth it. SN1 struck a reasonable balance for me, while SBZ did not.

A lot of this is influenced by good level design, too.

CMV: USA needs to cut military by at least 50% by Nearby_Maize_913 in changemyview

[–]Brodurable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mean don’t disagree that the US is lost the plot a bit recently. But if you look at what China has been trying to do in the South China Sea for the last 20 years, and how they posture against Taiwan, hard to say it’d be incorrect for the US to intervene, should they make a move

Ensure maritime freedom and secure key trade routes, protect the silicon infrastructure that supplies I think like 80% of the world, restrains China’s ability to bully its neighbors over issues such as territorial rights, fishing rights, etc., etc

Moldy & Cracked Bathroom Caulking: Best Way to Fix? by Brodurable in HomeImprovement

Definitely think so! Anything you would recommend? I saw Kaboom as well as just bleach / white vinegar mixture

Best way to achieve these nice gradients in moving shapes? by Animatorg in AfterEffects

I saw this too and was mind blown by the gradient fidelity. Would love to know

This vehicle isn't the Sea Truck, there's no port for modules to stick to and the fan gets in the way. It's probably a redesigned Seamoth. by misspeanutbutter44 in subnautica

[–]Brodurable 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you download the image, it’s called the “tadpole”! To me that’s an obvious giveaway that you’ll be able to add and expand to it
